About
The Crandall Bowles Children’s Farm serves as an educational destination for families, field trips and animal lovers of all ages. Visit the resident animals and learn about South Carolina farming.

Integrating the former petting zoo and adding a pastoral habitat, observation areas for various animals, a half-mile loop trail, gathering lawn, educational garden, and open-air learning center, the Children's Farm aims to provide daily interpretation and demonstrations on a variety of topics in an immersive learning environment.
